Exciting and hard-fought game in the PalaOlimpia arena on Saturday night. MVP Aleksandar Atanasijevic scored 26 points to help the guests get away with a tie-break victory in a game that was uncertain right until the end.
Dante Boninfante (Calzedonia Verona): “We’re disappointed we did not manage to win this one, we did not handle very well the sets we’ve lost. Still, we take a point out of this, a good point against a very strong team, which will motivate us even more to keep getting better”.
Aleksandar Atanasijevic (Sir Safety Perugia): “We did not play the way we’d have liked to in the first sets, but then we got back on track, we really wanted to bounce back tonight. This has been a great hard-fought game, a good test for the next one against Piacenza on Wednesday”.
